[quote="ERC"]I didn't know then who it was standing by that Alfetta, but I fell in love with that car then and so pleased that Gordon has it out there now.



This photo is Barry and there is a story to go with this also. I have told it on other thread, involving a traffic officer.

This is Barry and there is a story to this which I reported on another thread, it involved a traffic officer myself and Ian in a classic conversation while Barry made himself look busy.
